What is a good rate for someone trying to gain muscle? One pound a month of solid muscle?
Anon asked:
I weigh 190 right now and am working towards 175. After that I want to gain muscle up to 205. I know its going to be a long process and I know that I’ll be burning fat and gaining muscle at the same time. I figured a good rate would be one pound of solid muscle a month. Is that hard to do? I’ll be running 3 days a week and working out muscles everyday with a high protein and high calorie diet. Any tips too?

Well depends on how long you have been working out really.But yea it’s good,personally i suggest you ignore cardio due to the fact that muscle burns fat shit fast while cardio reduces muscle mass,i go the gym too and if i consumed approx 2k calories per day i could lose 2.2 pounds in 2 days.(That’s been measured)Trick is to eat nuts meat and eggs,stay away from sugar.
